Darien took Serena back to his apartment. He didn't like what had come out of Kisha's mouth. He knew something was wrong with that girl and he did not want anything to happen to Serena because of her. Gently, he set his love on the bed and started removing her clothing. Where there had been burns, her skin was now smooth and perfect thanks to the silver crystal. Her strength had been sapped, though, and he knew that she just needed to rest until she had enough energy to wake up and eat. As he pulled off her clothing, he couldn't help but admire her body. Slowly, he moved a hand up her stomach and cupped one of her breasts. She moved and softly whispered his name. Pulling the blanket up over her, he kissed her forehead and went to make her food.

"Serenity," a voice said softly. "Serenity, beware."

"Who are you?" Serena asked. "Why are you hiding yourself from me?"

A figure emerged from the darkness, clothed in a green robe and veil. "I am the one that you must discover. You must help me to awaken. Only you have enough power. Only you can awaken me so that I can save you."

"Save me? From what?" Serena asked softly.

"From your love, Serenity. I must save you from your love."

"Endy?"

"No Serenity, not your lover, your love. It is too great. You sacrifice too much."

"What is your name?" Serena inquired.

"Emeldra. You may call me by my rightful name, Emeldra."

"Emeldra? Who are you?"

"I am the breath of this wind, the power of this shaking, the life of this dirt. I am one that you must find. You must release me. I call to you and I ask you to help. "

"I will help," Serenity replied. "Just tell me what to do. What can I do?"

"Use your crystal Princess Serenity, but do not use your life force."

"How is that possible? The crystal uses my life force."

"You must learn, Serenity. You must learn. I will wait here until you do. I can not help you until you do."

"WAIT!" Serena yelled.

Darien heard Serena call out and rushed into the room. Gathering her against him, he gently ran his hands through her hair. "Shh, it's okay love," he said softly, "I'm here."

"Darien?" she whispered as her beautiful eyes flew open. "Who is Emeldra?"

"I don't know, why?"

"She needs my help, Darien. She needs me," Serena answered, falling back asleep.

Darien tucked her back in and went to finish making food. Something was going on and he needed to figure out what that something was. Maybe Luna and Artemis can help, he thought. I'll contact them and ask them about Emeldra.

Kisha awoke to a slap on her face. "Get up and tell me what you were talking about," Amara yelled.

"Ouch" Kisha whispered, anger showing on her face. "Why are you hitting me?"

"Do you know what you said? What did you see in your sleep?" Amara continued.

Kisha looked over to see Michelle interrogating Lauren. "Amara, I don't know. There were flames, black flames and an evil lady and she turned around and had MY face. MY FACE! But, my eyes were red and she.. I.. cackled. I don't cackle."

"Kisha, this is very important. What did she say?"

"She told me that I was going to lead her to the chosen one. Then she mentioned something about destroying the chosen one, destroying Sailor Moon." Kisha replied.

"Michelle?" Amara said, looking away from Kisha and at her. Michelle nodded her head to show that she had heard the conversation. "What about you, Lauren?"

"I remember singing with Kisha and then flames, but nothing after that. When the flames shot up, I felt myself falling. I must have passed out."

"Fine, you can go home Lauren. Just do us a favor and stay away. We don't need you here." Amara replied.

Lauren gave Amara a confused look, stood up and stormed out.

Kisha sank to the floor in misery. As tears rolled down her face, she spoke "what's happening? I'm not the same person. I don't know who I was or am or will be. All I know is that if my dreams become reality, it's not going to be pretty." Standing up, she lifted her chin and looked straight at Amara with a regal glare. "I don't want to hurt anybody. I don't want to be the cause of pain. I'm leaving." Kisha started moving towards the door. When Michelle called out, she ignored her
